12 Deal with a kindyme, how would you priftli for them to deal with you. That’s how the Old Testament can be summed up.
Comment: In the spirit of God’s love, we can take it even further and dealing with people as they would like us to deal with!
Matthew 7 by verse 13
Jesus teaches about the path to eternal life
13 The kingdom of God can only be entered through a narrow gate. A spacious gate and a wide road lead to destruction, and many people are moving here. 14 bryaon and the way to tlife are owzké and there are few who will find them.
Comment: Because little wants to find her. It’s not like some are predestined and others aren’t. God leaves a lot to us.
Jesus teaches about the fruit of life
15 Beware of the fake religious teachers who come in the mask of a harmless sheep, but in reality they are like hungry wolves. 16 noteaTE is depending on how tijie And actie tho PRainhim Just as you judge a tree by the fruit that is born on it. Are grapes from thorns and figs from thistles harvested? 17-18 goody the tree nembite nÉst sbottomÉ fruit and again sbottomy Tree GoodÉ. 19 katdy the tree whichy noaina Good night owRod, is Poraten and spaflax. 20 Fruit – human actions, this is a reliable recognition sign.
Jesus teaches about building on sand and rock
21 Not everyone who calls me Lord, Lord, will come to the kingdom of heaven. What matters is whether he listens to my father. 22 on the day of the lastieho judge me manyie rthey say: ‘Lord, sir, did we not speak in your name, did not speak against evil and did not many wonders? 23 Ja them insAK replyieM: ‘you never pat merIli and notrevelrydili according to bolife inorle. JDhimte pryno!‘
Comment: Here they are talking about those who think they will get to heaven by what they do. Like the Pharisees, who fulfilled the law to the last detail, but they missed not only the spirit of the law – that love is above all else, but also how to actually get to heaven. They thought they would go to heaven but in Ephesians 2:9 is said: salvation /or eternal life/ is not of you, it is it God’s gift; not of your deeds.
And in Titus 3:5 we read: He saved us – not for our righteous deeds, but for his mercy. And the SNC translation says: He didn’t do it because of our kind of merits, but out of his kindness and compassion.
Matthew 7 continues from verse 24:
House on a Rock (On Jesus)
24 Who SlyShi this ma words and onea According to them, that mbite byt prIrovnan To the far-sighted person who founded his house on the rock. 25 prEsto, te prandsly desthim s Floodie And VichrICE SE OPierala to his ZDie, Dorm ottertel, that’s whyte was built on skale. 26 who insAK SlyShi this ma words but will not introduce them to tlife, onea as aftersetilky nohuntinghimK, who founded his house on sand. 27 prandsly desthim, flooded the landscape and violentlya griefrICE SE OPrEla to ZDie house. the one fromrevelryTil with a largeym rumble.‘
